An electronic kaleidoscope of sonic explorations. Haunted memories of converging cloud music. Alien dream music - sound of the interstellar glide machine...analog space invaders meet the acoustic porch pluckers. Ethereal sounds escaping into the stratosphere.

The sounds of Dermaptera can be described as sonic visions of falling in slow motion, or inseparable digital and analog sonic convergence. Liquid voice and synthesizer blend with amazing electronic bass sounds. Epic length ambient songs live side by side with shorter tunes.
Kathy McMenamin and Kevin Hassett are Dermaptera. A husband and wife duo, we have been making music together since the turn of the millennium. Kevin has been playing bass since the early eighties, and has perfected his individual style of playing multiple string chords on the bass. His bass style also currently includes analog Moog effects processors. Kathy plays the synthesizer, and adds signal processed vocals to some songs. Her background includes a decade of training and performing for voice and piano.
